History

Incorporated in February 2000,[2] DragonWave introduced its first wireless broadband product in 2002.

In 2007, the company saw the launch of its all-outdoor Horizon Compact[3] microwave radio with transport speeds of 800Mbit/s.

DragonWave was first listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2007,[4] and then listed on the NASDAQ exchange in 2009.[5]

In 2011 DragonWave introduced two products, the Avenue[6] and Horizon Compact+.[7]

In 2012, DragonWave acquired Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business, rebranding the NSN Flexipacket products as the DragonWave Harmony family.[8] Per that transaction, DragonWave also became a preferred supplier to Nokia Siemens Networks and continues to provide the Flexipacket/Harmony products to the company.[9]

DragonWave designs and builds Ethernet microwave products to support existing and emerging backhaul requirements employing three key technologies: packet microwave, hybrid microwave and small cell solutions.
